35 wks and chest tightening

Anyone experiencing tight chest/shortness of breath? Feels like the contractions might be causing it. It felt so scary, my back and shouldwrs going all tired and struggling to breath but had to calm down and take good deep breaths. Scary.

Just came from the doctor a few hours ago. It was a regular check up I am 34 weeks. I explained to her that I was having shortness of breath and pressure in my chest as well as feeling dizzy and weak. She said that if I am feeling pressure in my chest then go to the ER... So if this feeling persist i would advise you to do the same. O

I have haven't had chest tightness, but I do occasionally get short of breath. That's from the diaphragm being pushed up. I would say you should call your Dr about the chest tightness. That doesn't sound normal to me.
